At least if Young needs a replacement it's CHN + 400k

So you're saying I should *not* get Tturbo and hope he scores poorly

Haha, yep don't pick him up and make him your avatar pic as well, that should guarantee him scoring poorly

What's happened to Young. Quick scan of usual outlets and I haven't seen anything

I just realised Tino is going to cop 2 games if he accepts the charge. He's been Jack Williams level of a buy. Two games for fuck all. See ya. May go a left field pick here and hope for some tries.

Good chance Young gets dropped.

Nah, CHN won't score as well and don't have faith it would be a long term thing. If I have to replace him I'll be sadly losing some green.

Nothing's happened to him. Raiders fans are wanting CHN to come in on the edge and Young go back to middle rotation. In reality (and worse for fantasy) it'll be more likely CHN coming back onto the bench, but it's one to look out for on TLT..

I'm getting rid of him and probably going for a *risky* buy.

Yeah what Wolfy said. Young had some horrocious misses (admittedly he looked to be pretty tired from all the other defending he'd done) and Ricky talked about individuals not pulling their weight in the post match presser. Just got the feeling that if he's looking to make changes, resting the young bloke who missed some important tackles and plays the position we have some decent depth will be the route he takes.

"Raiders fans" want half the team executed if we lose a game in golden point due to a freak gust of wind that corrects what would be a missing FG attempt, going by the GH threads after a loss. I definitely don't want CHN to replace Young (and not just for fantasy purposes, I think Young should just be given a kick up the ass and chance to make up for it). I just have a bad feeling Ricky goes the easier route with team changes. The more difficult approach would involve looking at both of our Captains and making a call on whether he needs to rest/adjust how they're played. Croker is on struggle street and Hodgo stifles our halves and it kills me to say it. Can't keep running Siliva, Starling and Hodgo in the 17 and IMO Starling is now the best of the three so should get the bulk of the time at hooker. Also wouldn't be shocked if Simo gets dropped or relegated back to the bench.

Unless he thinks Young had to do too much because others weren’t doing their bit? I expect Ryan James will be back and he said Seb Kris will be in the team somewhere. I’d be surprised if Ricky thinks Hudson Young is the root of all his problems but I’ve been surprised before.

I’ve also seen complaints from fans about Croker, Scott and Hodgson.

Either way, I’d avoid Raiders forwards. I’ve got Tapine but bigger problems to fix.

Agree, our Captain’s are a problem but Ricky won’t go near.

Yeah I'm hoping Ricky looks at how we lost the middle and the knock on effect being that Hudson had to pick up some of the slack/didn't have the same help from the inside. You'd assume James would have to be back in, he's been going great and apparently Hors has been pretty lackluster back in ressies. I'd like to see Taps get some more minutes, we had a fair bit of success last year when he reduced his minutes so I can see why he continued, but IMO it should be far closer to 50-55min then 40. Maybe Sutton and James starting FRF next week (Papa benched as a bit of a warning), Taps starting lock to get a rest around 25min in (Coincidentally should have a fired up Papa on by then) when Starling comes on and pushes Hodgo into the middle. Back on again for the final 25-30min to finish the game with fresh legs against a tired defence.

Starling should be your hooker, not Hodgson IMO. Game now more suited for Tom and the halves would thrive.

Yeah agree, If I had a choice I'd have Starling there as I think both Williams and Wighton are suited to him better. Either early ball from him or following one of his scoots lets them play their own games better. Just don't think that will happen any time soon so hoping he at least gets more minutes and at a time when he can influence the game.

Big fan of young surely his previous performances this year outweighs that one off week, he’s been close to raiders best every week

Awesome avatar!

Yes, I agree on Young, I would drop him. I also agree about Starling over Hodgo.

Croker is becoming Darius 2.0

1060 for the round - thanks to The Chin, Moses and I.Pap.
Jumped up the ranks - 2795 > 1735.
Whew ... never held a rank this high for my main team ... the thin air up here is causing the Bludgers to start hyperventilating.
Looks like a crash is due.
I apologise in advance for breaking whichever player goes down with a season ending injury next week.

On a different note - what happened to SOS. 80 mins, virtually no kms, 19 points??

Not sure btw ipap or haas

His KMs were the same as they always are this season

No TBs, and 5 missed tackles did him in.
